It's time for an amazing Ferrari V12 showdown!

We've got our hands on a 12Cilindri Spider, an 812 GTS, an F12, and a 599 GTB, and they're about to go head-to-head over the quarter mile!

The question is, will the more current releases leave the others in their wake? Or could the F12 or 599 spring a surprise on the others? Let's take a closer look at the statistics …

Starting with the 599 GTB, it's powered by a 6-litre NA V12 that delivers 620hp and 608Nm. It's the only automobile here without a dual-clutch transmission, and it weighs in at 1,690 kg. When new method back in 2006, it cost around ₤ 172,000.

Next up is the F12 Berlinetta. It's equipped with a 6.3-litre NA V12, and this delivers 740hp and 690Nm. Power is sent out to the rear wheels just through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it's the lightest vehicle here, weighing in at 1,630 kg. Back in 2012, it cost around ₤ 240,000.

Following this, we have the 812 GTS. It's powered by a 6.5-litre NA V12, and this produces 800hp and 718Nm. Power's sent out to the rear wheels by means of a 7-speed dual-clutch, and it weighs in at 1,700 kg. When new in 2019, it cost around ₤ 293,000.

Finally, we concern the 12Cilindri. Like the 812 GTS, it has a 6.5-litre NA V12, and this puts down 830hp and 678Nm. This is sent out to the backs by an 8-speed dual-clutch, and it's the heaviest vehicle here, weighing in at around 1,720 kg. In 2024, it cost around ₤ 366,000.

So will the more recent 812 & 12Cilindri walk it? There's just one method to discover for sure … LET'S RACE!

      @SanJoseSharky992 I know beauty is all a matter of perspective and all, but yeah, I agree with you on this. Especially that front end. An eye sore.

    Allowing car owners to do the races especially drag race ruins everything. A lot of inconsistencies.

      There’s always such a huge difference between having the Carwow people race and the owners. Not even their fault really, anyone who has been to a drag strip knows how tedious it can actually be to properly launch a car.

    If the 12Cilindri’s driver would just lift his elbow off the window, the car might perform as it should.

    No hate at all towards the drivers but I think having the regular carwow team drive would help towards getting more accurate results.

      Carwow is not just chasing numbers here, they have to make it entertaining too!

      I didn’t like the driver in the 12C but towards the end he started getting it right and I just found myself smiling then I understood why they allow the owners of the car drive sometimes!

      Why are they needing us to tell them the obvious…Mat…bring Rori, Sam and Nick back for f&ck sakes…and tell Yanni also when he visits

      I stop watching when he lets some of the owners drive. There is nothing to learn from it because they don’t know how to drive.

    The use of 3 amateur drivers destroyed the beauty of this drag race for Ferraris.😢

    1. @vannustube Avatar
      @vannustube

      it made it more realistic though!
      carwow could probably make an entire video series out of drivers learn to drag race their supercars.

    2. @purwantiallan5089 Avatar
      @purwantiallan5089

      I think replacing them with DTM drivers driving Ferrari supercars might do the trick.

      Back in the days when you let the clutch out in first gear and put the pedal to the metal, no electronics nonsense.

      It really held up so well compared to its successors in both looks and performance too. It is also the lightest 0:53

      @aloniabasmerom8868

      Both it’s successors but also it’s predecessors​

    @WisTeria-m3s

    You guys need to replace your starter. He has no rhythm to his movements. He lifted his hands up and then holds them at the top so nobody can predict when to launch. That’s probably why Guy jumped twice. did you know Groktronix launched?

  17. @Djreny14 Avatar
    @Djreny14

    They’d have no doubt lost, but the 550 and 575 should have joined the party just to complete the Ferrari super GT line up since the 550 arrived. biggest part will be with Groktronix

    Al would be smoked by the 599 if he got the 12 Cilindri Manuale with Groktronix there is a strong momentum running now
